In this way, as long as there is a continuous infusion of nutrients and magic into Theresa Scarlet's blood, that drop of blood can continuously replicate itself and eventually grow into Theresa Scarlet's artificial daughter. It can be said to be a low-tech version of Theresa Scarlet's divine magic.
The new daughters of Theresa Scarlet Moon, raised in this way, will definitely not be as strong as the Scarlet Moon Princesses in terms of individual strength. They will probably reach the level of formal magicians, and even if they continue to train, it will be difficult for them to advance to the level of grand magicians.
However, this artificial daughter also has a huge advantage: like all products in human industrial civilization, it can be mass-produced through an assembly line at a low cost.
According to the data provided by old man Langdon, the cost of creating an artificial version of Crimson Moon Daughter, apart from the drop of blood of Theresa Crimson Moon as the core material, is less than 21 Luns.
Theresa Scarlet Moon, who possesses the Flame of Life and the power of rebirth, has an infinite amount of blood.
In other words, as long as there are enough raw materials, these artificial red-haired magicians can be mass-produced quickly, and producing hundreds or even thousands a day is not a problem.
Chapter 362 Sister Army and Scarlet Moon Network
"A mass-produced elven mage costing less than 21 rens? This is indeed a very powerful new technology that can greatly enhance the Federation's overall national strength and make my position in the Federation even more unshakeable, but..."
Emery first praised and affirmed Langdon's new technology, then changed the subject and spread her hands, saying:
"But this still doesn't seem to have achieved the goal I assigned you, does it? I asked you to develop an external magic source that I could use in space. What use is the technology you gave to this mass-produced elven mage? And you still want a vacation?"
"Heh... Miss, you're underestimating me again, aren't you? Since I dared to ask for a vacation, I can naturally complete the tasks you assigned me."
Langdon's voice remained confident:
“These artificially created, mass-produced elven mages are indeed not very strong individually, at least they shouldn’t be of much help to you, young lady… But what if we gathered the magic power of a large number of these elven mages together? I heard that when you were attacking the elven capital, the magic barrier caused you quite a bit of trouble?”
"Old Langdon, you mean...?"
Emery frowned slightly, a thoughtful expression on her face.
The magical barrier in the Elf Capital was maintained by the combined efforts of hundreds of thousands of elven mages, and its strength was indeed very high, giving Amelie the first taste of being outmatched by numerical superiority.
Maintaining a magical barrier with the combined efforts of many mages is different from having one person act as a source of magical energy.
First of all, Emerald does not have Julia's special constitution, which allows her to absorb almost unlimited magic power transferred to her by her teammates, and it doesn't discriminate based on attributes.
Secondly, different mages have different magical attributes. Forcibly gathering them together would not only increase the difficulty of control, but could also easily cause an explosion if not handled carefully... The Elf King was able to gather the magical power of hundreds of thousands of mages together by relying on the power of many magic circles and rune sets.
Finally, even if Emerald could absorb a large amount of magic from mages for her own use, how would she take hundreds of thousands of mages with her into space?
If those mages stayed on the ground and remotely transferred magic to her, a lot of magic would be lost during the transmission process. In the end, it is estimated that less than 10% could be effectively gathered, which would be even more counterproductive and could easily cause problems.
"I currently have two options, both of which should be fine in theory. It's up to you, Miss, to choose which one you prefer."
The old man Langdon projected relevant materials and data directly to Amelie, while also narrating the events himself:
"Among the countless ancient spells of the Elven race, there is a relatively obscure and vicious spell that was banned by the Royal Council a long time ago, but the head of the Crimson Moon family, the former first family of the Royal Council, will definitely still use it."
"This magic is mainly used for killing each other among blood relatives. It can devour one's own blood brothers and sisters to make one's blood power and magic power stronger."
“Young Miss, isn’t there some kind of mysterious connection between you and your precious maid? You can teach your maid this magic and then have her kill her own sister to strengthen herself.”
"According to my calculations, as long as she can kill about 60,000 sisters and devour their bloodline and power, she will have enough magic power to become your external magic power source and accompany you into space... At that time, you and your servant will be of one mind and your strength will be unbreakable, wouldn't that be a wonderful story?"
"This……"
Amelie frowned even more deeply.
As expected of old Langdon, this plan is indeed vicious and perverse, actually requiring Marcy to personally kill more than 60,000 sisters.
If these 60,000-plus sisters were just living shells without souls, that would be one thing, but from the contact just now, Emerald could confirm that all the artificial red-haired elves were complete life forms with souls and self-awareness.
Moreover, Marcy has never even killed a few monsters, yet now she's being forced to slaughter her own sisters. That's far too cruel to her.
"I'm fine, young lady!"
Seemingly sensing Emerald's concerns, Marcy, though her face was very pale, had a very firm look in her eyes:
"As long as it helps the young lady, I don't care if my hands are stained with blood and I commit all sorts of evil deeds. Let alone just killing my sisters, even if..."
Marcy's face grew even paler as she spoke. She glanced at Theresa Scarlet Moon beside her, took a deep breath, and then gritted her teeth to say:
"Even if it means killing my mother with my own hands, I will do it for you, Miss!"
"Then you are truly my good daughter!"
Theresa Scarlet Moon grumbled speechlessly, then shrugged:
"But you, my filial daughter, are probably going to be disappointed. Even if I let you kill me without resistance under my master's orders, you still can't kill me... After all, I am the saintess of the God of Procreation and Rebirth. I may not be good at other things, but I dare to call myself the best in the world when it comes to immortality. Even if my body and soul are completely annihilated, I can revive from nothingness. This is the power of rebirth... Otherwise, my master would not have chosen to seal me with divine magic in the first place."
"There's no need for you to be so extreme, Sisi... But I really like how you feel about me, Sisi. Come on, give me a kiss~~"
Ignoring the fact that Theresa Scarlet Moon and old man Langdon were still watching, Emerald hugged Marcy and gave her a kiss, then pulled Marcy into her arms and treated her to face wash as a reward, all the while looking at the ceiling with annoyance:
"Old Langdon, are you deliberately trying to make a fool of me? What's the other option?"
"Hehe, I knew you were still beautiful and kind-hearted, Miss. Unlike me, a mad scientist who has abandoned his conscience, you are unlikely to choose this option. So I prepared another plan in advance. Of course, the core of this plan is still your precious maid."
Old Langdon cackled a few times:
"However, the core technology of this plan cannot be guaranteed by any ancient elven magic. Instead, it involves a new technology... Speaking of which, the person who inspired this technology is none other than you, Miss."
"Oh?"
Emery raised an eyebrow, her hand gently stroking Marcy's hair:
"Did I inspire you?"
"Ah."
old man Langdon spoke eloquently:
“Miss, didn’t you tell me during our casual chat that in some worlds of the endless void, civilizations use electricity as their basic energy source? They store electricity in capacitors and transmit it using circuits.”
"In the relevant knowledge of circuits, there is a point that the currents in parallel circuits can be superimposed almost without loss when they meet... This is what inspired me."
As Langdon spoke, he simultaneously changed the information projected on the screen, showing Amelie a series of magic circles that resembled circuit diagrams:
"I was thinking, if electricity can do this, then magic should be able to too... at least the magic of these artificial magicians should be able to, because their magic is all of the same origin, and their various attribute data are very similar, many are even exactly the same, so they can be safely combined."
"So I also designed this, which uses a network of parallel magic circuits to gather the magic of artificial magicians and bring it to your maid, Miss."
"Later, through the maid's special ability to fuse organs, and the special bond between her and you, young lady, perhaps she won't even need to go to space, and can transfer magic to you at home with almost no damage."
"...Isn't this a good idea?"
Emery immediately frowned in displeasure:
"Then why did you bring up that proposal again, old Langdon? I think you're complaining about having too much research funding, or maybe your workload isn't enough?"
"I'm already working 24/7, 365 days a year. How much more work are you going to put on me, Miss? Are you going to use time magic? Is it really necessary?"
Old man Langdon first made a complaint, then explained with some helplessness:
"And you've misunderstood me, Miss. The first plan is also valuable. Although it's a little cruel, its effectiveness can be guaranteed by the ancient forbidden magic of the Elven race. After I finish the plan and give it to you, Miss, I can go on vacation."
"As for the second option... I would have to work overtime for at least another month. After all, this option uses new technology, and I need to keep an eye on it and continuously optimize and improve it during the implementation process. For me, the first option is definitely better."
"Then let's use the second option."
Without further hesitation, Amelie made a decision directly, speaking in the tone of her boss:
"I will ensure that there are sufficient supplies and materials here. Old Langdon, you need to perfect all the relevant technologies of the second plan within half a month, and at the same time, mass-produce as many artificial magicians as possible... I will personally conduct the test in half a month."
"If the test results in two weeks satisfy me, then we will continue to scale up the production of artificial magicians according to this plan. I want to see at least 10 in three months."
"Yes, Miss (Master)."
Since Amelie had said so, old man Langdon and Theresa Scarlet Moon had no choice but to obey.
The technology for artificial magicians is now mature. Theresa Scarlet Moon provides her own blood as the core material and oversees the production line. The main task for old man Langdon is to turn that magic circuit network from blueprints into reality and continue to optimize it.
“Give them and this plan a name, Miss.”
Just as Emery was about to leave, old man Langdon called her back again:
"Although they are the result of my research, I now belong to you, Miss, so they naturally belong to you as well. It would be better if you named them."
"A name?"
Emerald did not refuse to exercise her naming rights, but she really had no talent for naming things, so after thinking it over, she chose to copy the anime/manga style from her previous life:
"Since those artificial magicians are also considered Sisi's sisters, let's call them the 'Sister Legion' from now on. I'll also register a Blue Star Security Company, with Sisi serving as the company's vice president to manage the sisters."
"Yes, Miss, I will definitely manage my sisters well."
Marcy lifted the hem of her skirt and bowed to indicate that she had accepted the order, her voice full of confidence.
"And that new technology of yours, old man Langdon..."
Emery hesitated for a few more seconds, then casually waved as she led Marcy out of the lab:
"Let's call it [Scarlet Moon Network]."
. . . . .
After returning to Locke City, Emerald once again immersed herself in her training, and every now and then, dressed in her nun's clothes, she would be pounced on by Julia, who couldn't resist her charms.
Time flies like an arrow, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Strictly speaking, it hadn't even been half a month. On the morning of the 14th day, old man Langdon sent another message saying that the [Crimson Moon Network] had been completed and Amelie was ready to be tested at any time.
Emery, of course, rushed over immediately.
The place where old man Langdon was this time was in a relatively flat basin.
Not only is the old man Langdon in his biological laboratory form here, but the more than 2000 Crimson Moon sisters have also built a camp here.
Just like the Crimson Moon Sisters that Emerald first met half a month ago, these Crimson Moon Sisters were all wearing those sci-fi style bodysuits with magical circuits engraved on them.
The [Crimson Moon Network] built by old man Langdon looks a bit like the photovoltaic power plant on Blue Star in Amelie's previous life. It is a huge matrix composed of metal plates with magic circuits engraved on their surfaces, and the magic circuits on the metal plates match the magic circuits on the Crimson Moon sisters' bodysuits.
The design of the metal plate matrix reveals that its size and scale can be adjusted at any time by adding or removing metal plates. Furthermore, the magic circuits of all the metal plates eventually converge into a main circuit, which is connected to a chair, clearly the seat that belongs to Marcy.
After the test began, under the command of old man Langdon, all 2000+ Crimson Moon Sisters lay down on the metal plate as ordered, aligning the magic circuits on their bodysuits with the magic circuits on the metal plate beneath them. Marcy also sat upright in that chair.
"Why don't you try going a little further, Miss?"
After Marcy and the Crimson Moon sisters were all in place, old man Langdon suggested to Emerald:
"After all, the young lady is going to go to space."
"can."
Amelie nodded, and with a flash of golden light, she appeared hundreds of kilometers away in an instant. She then sent a message saying that the test could begin at any time.
Upon seeing this, old man Langdon activated the [Crimson Moon Network].
"Hmm?~~"
As the magical circuits on the metal plate lit up, many of the Scarlet Moon sisters lying on it couldn't help but let out soft moans. The tingling sensation of their magic being drained made them unable to control themselves.
As clone sisters sharing the same bloodline and magical power, the convergence of the Scarlet Moon sisters' magical power was as smooth as rivers flowing into the sea.
The combined magical energy of over 2000 formal mages was not to be underestimated; even Marcy, a fusion-stage mage, could feel it clearly.
Marcy could feel a warm current flowing into her body from the chair beneath her. She quickly guided this magical energy to her fused organs, transforming it into liquid life-giving essence that could replenish magical power. She closed her eyes and prayed fervently in her heart:
Miss, please have your meal.
As a Saint of Destiny, Marcy already possessed a miraculous ability that was close to granting wishes. Moreover, when she helped Emerald obtain her third fusion organ, she established a strange connection with Emerald that resembled quantum entanglement.
Now, even without relying on the hidden mechanisms in her clothes and Emerald's mouth, Marcy can deliver her liquid life essence into Emerald's mouth at any time, almost regardless of distance, arriving in an instant.
"Goo!"
Everything went smoothly for Marcy, but she seemed to have fed her a little too quickly. Emerald couldn't swallow all the liquid essence of life that suddenly appeared in her mouth, and a little bit of the strawberry milkshake-like liquid flowed down from the corner of her mouth and down her neck.
She wanted to complain, but the amount of liquid life essence that Marcy brought her kept increasing, so Amelie couldn't talk and could only swallow it in large gulps.
It looked a bit messy, but the effect was very obvious; those liquid life-flame essences were all brimming with a large amount of magic power.
Amelie immediately mobilized this magic power, and without using any of her own magic power, she condensed a new type of magical sun with a diameter of more than 1 kilometer in the air in just over ten seconds.
This is still the Crimson Moon Network, which consists of only 2000+ Crimson Moon Sisters. If this number were increased by several dozen times, and combined with Ameliete's own three resonant fusion organs, it would be absolutely feasible to quickly create a huge thing in the space above the Immortal Gate and smash it down.
"Great! Let's use this plan!"
Emerald gave Langdon's research results its final approval and kept her promise to him, giving him a vacation so he could study what he liked.
Anyway, old man Langdon has already handed over all the technical data to Emerald. Mass production of Scarlet Moon can be handled by Theresa Scarlet Moon, and the construction of the Scarlet Moon network can be handled by Suzuran.
As for where to build the Scarlet Moon Network...
Amelie only needed to think for a moment before she had an idea.
The magic tower on the big cake, which belonged to Emerald, is still mostly empty, and she doesn't actually need that many floors.
